Using ice and heat therapy in conjunction with massage can also relieve a lot of pain. As a rule of thumb, use ice when you are treating an acute condition and use heat for a chronic condition. When using hot and cold therapy, pay attention to the area that you are concentrating on. If you are doing therapy to your neck, use a cervical pack- one that has dimensions 6�x 20� so that it fit easily around your neck. For the lower back and mid back consider using a larger hot and cold pack � one for example that is 10� x 13� dimensions. You will get more therapeutic benefit to the hurting area. One final word about using ice and heat in conjunction with massage. Some patients like to use heat before massage (especially trigger point therapy using the BackNobber II for Muscle Trigger Point Self Treatment or TheraCane home massager tool)- as this helps to relax the muscles. It can also be beneficial to use ice after to help calm down the muscles. Consult with your Dr or health professional for your specific condition.
